An equipment by ”Applicable electronics” Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique, Scanning Ion-Selective Electrode Technique designed to study the electrochemical activity of the material at microlevel

”Applicable electronics” complex allowed to study by Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET) electrochemical activity of the material at the microlevel. Using the method of SVET it's possible to identify and study in detail the kinetics, staging and mechanism of the corrosion process of the investigatedmaterial. In contradistinction to traditional methods for determining the corrosive properties (gravimetry, volumetry), the scanning vibrating probe method allow to determine the level of corrosivity of materials in local regions of the surface.

      The Scanning Ion-Selective Electrode Technique (SIET) allow to determine the concentration of ions at the picomolar level. Using a probe in the form of capillary with ion-selective membrane, it becomes possible to obtain the change in ion concentration gradient data (chloride, magnesium) and to establish areas in more or less degree subjected to corrosive attack. The complex is equipped with a mechanism which allows at the same time to explore the surface of the material using a set of two SVET-SIET complementary methods.
      Integrally, this equipment allows you to receive information about corrosivity of the material at the micro level, and to develop new methods of corrosion protection.
